Illinois has allocated $680 million to create the Illinois Fermentation and Agriculture Biomanufacturing (iFAB) Tech Hub, leveraging the state's agricultural strength to drive innovation and economic growth within the biomanufacturing sector. Read more → https://bit.ly/49YRfxF The iFAB initiative is led by Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker in partnership with Innovate Illinois to enhance the state's biomanufacturing and precision fermentation capabilities. "This designation positions Central Illinois to become a global leader in biomanufacturing and precision fermentation over the next decade — bringing economic development and good-paying jobs along with it," commented Pritzker. Investing in alternative proteins has the potential to foster vibrant regional bioeconomies and cultivate resilient jobs and livelihoods for the future. Witnessing such substantial support from both public and private sectors is truly energizing!

At the recent Cellular Agriculture Innovation Day at Tufts University, experts and industry shared various perspectives on #scaling #cultivatedmeat production. While some highlighted investor risk aversion to investing in capex to scale production, others called for more government support to support the industry with low-interest government loans. In particular, to scale production, bioprocessing startup Ark Biotech shared its plans to develop larger bioreactors, up to 1 million liters, by leveraging novel airlift technologies. In late 2023, Ark Biotech successfully ran a 1,250-liter bioreactor with a cultivated meat company, with multiple ongoing trials with different species. #cellag #cellbasedmeat
